I'm not knowledgeable on the 4 bangers - however my advise is to pick up a used
FSM (Factory service manual)
Also I would assume yer timing chain is under the waterpump and the cover is
not accessable untill the pump is removed.
Chiltons and Haynes are not specific enough. Keep watch on EBAY - used and new
FSMs surface frequently.
